try this

1. Reboot Windows into Safe Mode and perform a virus scan.
2. Make sure you have a clean Windows host file located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. Open the hosts file with Notepad (or some other text editor) and replace all the text in hosts with the text below. Be sure to save the hosts file without an extension. In Notepad this is done by selecting File -> Save As and choosing the “Save as type” to be “All Files.”

1. # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
2. #
3. # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
4. #
5. # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
6. # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
7. # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
8. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
9. # space.
10. #
11. # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
12. # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
13. #
14. # For example:
15. #
16. # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
17. # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
18. 127.0.0.1 localhost

1. Run Spybot - Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware to get rid of any other malware.
2. Clear your internet browser’s cache.
